How many ounces do you get when pumping?

Im a new mom and so far Ive only been getting an ounce or two at a time...I feel like my baby should be getting more than that. Ive only pumped about 4-5 times and DD is only 17 days old...I hope she is getting more than that when she breastfeeds.....she is definately going through enough diapers a day and gaining weight...how many ounces do you get when pumping and how old is your baby? Thanks!

Re: How many ounces do you get when pumping?

just keep pumping and it'll come, they don't eat more then 2-3 oz first few weeks or monts anyway, so you are ok. but just remember more you feed the baby and more you pump ,more milk you'll have.
most of all , try to relax , cause stressing about it will decrease the milk production.
good luck

i only used to get about 1-2 ounces if I pumped in addition to BFing.

Re: How many ounces do you get when pumping?

I exclusively pumped for about 8 weeks in the beginning, and I started off with only a couple of ounces, but by the time I stopped, I was getting 20oz. each pumping session So keep at it. It's demand and supply, so the more you pump/nurse, the more your body will start to produce.

Re: How many ounces do you get when pumping?

What you're pumping is totally normal. Your baby is getting more than that when they BF because they are the best "pump". Keep up the good work!
